Purple and Green


Thin purple
invades green.

2017


Early morning
pink sky.

2016

This oil slick looks
just like a
dream-catcher.

2015

The cold, winter morning
my brother was buried.

Red Beauty


Red morning sky
is more than just
beautiful.

2017

The eye focuses on the
yellow flowers at the head
of this flower field.

2016

These frozen bubbles
of water and debris
takes a cellular form,
reflecting the microscopic
in the macroscopic.

What gets me?
The yellow walls.

2015


Inviting.
Magical.
Empty.

Aladdin Cloud


The cloud rises
like smoke from
Aladdin's Lamp.

2017


Foggy light scatters
across the open field.

2016

The beauty and color
of the morning clouds
never ceases to amaze.

2015


It looks as if the cloud
is being pulled away from the mountain
when in fact,
it is diving into it.

Tangerine Sky


Right day.
Right time.
Right color.

2017


Dark windows frame
blue sky and the
crescent moon.

2016

In the TV show Grimm,
the revolutionary movement
of the people against the establishment
is called The Black Claw.

I captured an example of their mark,
ripped into old, hard asphalt.

2015

The light is perfect
for capturing the reflections
and ice chunks.

Morning Colors


Morning colors
warm the skies.

2017


Soft lamp-light warms
the baskets full of
pink flowers.

2016

The texture of the sky
matches the texture
of the pine.

2015

The early morning light
gives dimension to the clouds
above this beautiful range.

Tall Tree


The tall tree
stands without
its cover.

2017


Snow and clouds cap
the wintry mountain peak.

2016


The skeleton shapes jut
from beneath the ice
and reach for us
like sharp, spiky, knife fingers.

2015



What does this cartoon mean? 
Better question: is the Prophet depicted?

Textured Sky


Early morning light
textures the cloudy sky.

2017

Rusty machinery
sits idle.

2016

The moon and the window
appear to be the
same size.

2015

A new parking lot
shows its imperfections
as the light reflects off
the thin layer of water
left from the overnight rain.

Swirling Sky

Morning color
swirls above
the trees.

2017


Puffs of fiery clouds
rise from behind
the mountain ridge.

2016

The sun rises just high enough
to highlight the dwindling snow,
hanging on for dear life.

2015
Knot Face


The lichen is hair.
The knot is a face, complete with a neck.
There's even a nose, mouth, and if you look close, eyes.
The mind sees faces.

Spiky Green


Green and purple
spiky flower.

2017


Yellow and purple flowers
top the green before
the wooden fence.

2016

A tree covered
in snow-fur.

2015


This is another composite.
I love how the light and position
of each pic in the composite works.
I used three separate shots for this one.

Same Valley


Same valley.
Different view.

2017


Behind the camera
towers a mountain peak,
casting a giant shadow
over the whole valley.

2016

Winter designs its
temporary accessories
to adorn man's
form and function.

2015

Moon, stars ... and man.
Night does not easily
kill the light.

Dying Color


Petals fall.
Color fades.
Life dies.

2017


Tiny pink flower buds
reach above the
red brick wall.

2016


In any democracy,
the winner is the one with
the most stones.

Go Towering Blonde Man!

2015


The almost ghostly effect of this picture
is a composite of an out-of-focus shot
with an in-focus shot.

Reminds me of a firing neuron.

Sunlit Darkness


Sunlight fights
darkness for the
path forward.

2017


Golden light falls
over the green hills
of the mountain peak.

2016


The interaction between the trees
and the clouds appears
to challenge
the mountain's standing.

2015



The sun tears a hole
in the sky
to brighten a dark day.

Red Cloud Building


Red clouds
build over
the mountains.

2017


Love's blue descent
into the distant
future.

2016


The Coffee Master Bracken
creates this art.

2015

The difference in tone, shape, stroke, and composition
between this out of focus picture
and a watercolor rendition
is without distinction.
